Chianti is a type of red wine that originates from the Tuscany region of Italy. It is typically made from Sangiovese grapes, with other grape varieties sometimes blended in to add complexity. Chianti is known for its medium-bodied, dry and fruity flavor profile, with notes of cherry, plum, and floral undertones. It pairs well with a variety of foods, especially Italian cuisine such as pasta, pizza, and grilled meats. Chianti is also famous for its distinctive straw-covered bottle, known as a fiasco, which adds to its unique charm and traditional appeal.
